What if the super delgate

situation and number were reversed? Sanders would be shown to have 1688 to Clintons 1493 on all the major news channels. Does anyone think that would change the dynamics of the primary?

Imagine if the Republicans had super delegates, and they all went to Cruz, giving him the "delegate" lead instead of Trump. Do you think that would change the dynamics of that race.

All I am saying is that with such a large amount of super delegates, Clinton has always had a large "lead" when looked at on paper. I was just wondering if that fact has influenced the election as people like voting for the winner.

building relationships over time.

Bernie just joined the party so he doesn't have many super delegates. It's not complicated.

He should have joined the party years ago.

Consider this. It gets interesting as you get deeper into it:
